I'm joining a strategy consulting firm as an experienced hire, without prior strategy consulting experience. I've heard numerous stories about “post MBA hires” failing to pass probation, and a common reason is "failure to switch from corporate mindset to strategy consulting mindset.
Could you shed some advice and tips on how to outperform and thrive as a newly minted strategy consultant? Especially, when many colleague who joined consultant straight out of college are much younger and experienced in this field.
Thanks a tons!
